Jacksonville Public Library joins more than 200 Illinois libraries participating in Season 3 of Illinois Libraries Present, a collaborative effort featuring virtual events with bestselling and award-winning authors and esteemed speakers. The season continues with the Royal Ballet Performance of The Nutcracker.  Get in the spirit of the season with a recorded virtual performance of Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker, performed by the United Kingdom’s internationally renowned Royal Ballet.  The ballet, a holiday staple for all ages, can be viewed via Zoom on Saturday, December 16^th at 9AM and Sunday, December 17^th at 12pm.  Unfortunately, due to licensing issues, there will NOT be an in-person viewing of the stream at the Jacksonville Public Library.
